A pound of ice would melt into roughly 2 cups of water. The volume of liquid water is slightly less than the volume of solid ice due to differences in molecular structure and density.
It typically takes about 1 pound of ice per person for a party or event, so a 20-pound bag of ice would provide enough for approximately 20 servings.
There are 2 cups in a pint, so there are 4 half-cups in a pint of ice cream.
The cost of a bag of ice cubes can vary depending on the size and brand. Typically, a small bag of ice cubes can range from $1 to $2, while a larger bag may cost between $3 and $5. Bulk purchases or specialty ice may be priced higher.
Putting ice cubes in a sandwich bag in the microwave can cause the bag to melt or break, leading to leaks. The sudden temperature change can also cause the ice to rapidly heat up, potentially resulting in boiling water or steam that could burst the bag. It is not safe to microwave sandwich bags with ice cubes.
